La Oportunidad Internships

As a quick refresher, La Oportunidad is a 501c3 nonprofit organization and a

recognized leader for providing effective educational and supportive
programs that enable Latino individuals and families to achieve positive
educational and social outcomes. The organization's mission is to champion
the development of Latino individuals and families to create a strong,
peaceful community*.*  We serve the Latino community in the Twin Cities with
both violence prevention and intervention services for children, youth,
parents, and adults. Our services range from after school programs for
Latino children and youth to parenting classes for adults and domestic
violence/anger management classes for adult offenders. ****

** **

We are currently recruiting volunteers and interns for the Fall Semester to
help us achieve our mission and maintain the high standards our programming
has become known for. Volunteers and interns commit to at least one day a
week and choose from a variety of options, including; Group Facilitators and
Assistants for our El Camino (*The Path*) Program which serves Latino
children ages 5-12 and Childcare Assistants to help care for the children of
parents who are attending our Padres (*parenting*) Program.****

** **

Our volunteers and interns gain vital skills that they are able to use for
the rest of their lives.  They learn how to effectively and successfully be
part of a team and work towards a goal.  They also learn classroom
management techniques and develop leadership skills. Finally, and perhaps
the most popular benefit for many, they are given the opportunity to learn
about Latino culture and use and refine Spanish language skills.****

** **

I have attached a detailed description of the specific volunteer positions
that we are looking to fill and a volunteer application. If you have
students you think might be interested in any of these opportunities, or if
you would like more information about our volunteer and internship programs,
please feel free to contact me by phone, at 612.872.6165 ext.10, or by email

Minnesota Legal Services Coalition Internship/Volunteer Opportunity

Dear Global Studies Students,
Minnesota Legal Services Coalition is looking for volunteers and Interns with advanced or fluent skills in a foreign language to assist in a multilingual project that will enhance the provision of high quality civil legal services throughout Minnesota. This project involves translating MLSC’s low-literacy factsheets about civil legal problems that low-income Minnesotans have, and then making an audio version of the factsheet to post on a phone hotline and on the free legal website, LawHelpMN.org. These resources will allow Minnesota’s immigrant communities to access reliable legal information in their native language even if they are without literacy skills or a computer.

Interns will gain knowledge and insight in the civil legal field and the non-profit sector. They will also build networking skills and community relationships through outreach events and familiarize themselves with bi-directional translation. Interns will also gain recognition for creating a valuable legal resource for the immigrant community, and ultimately, they will make a difference in eliminating poverty.
Intern opportunities are very flexible and much of the translation work can be done off-site in the volunteer's own time. If you have strong language abilities and are interested in a position, please contact Minnesota Legal Services Coalition.

Thank you for your interest.
